The Bioscope Independent Cinema in the Maboneng Precinct in Johannesburg screens the chilling love story, Taste of Rain, on Friday 5 April, which tells the tale of Rachel (Nicola Hanekom) and her husband Tomas (Grant Swanby) who live on a farm on the edge of the Namib Desert.
As Rachel “burns’ with the land as the drought consumes them, Tomas leaves in search of water and grazing for their animals.
However, when Ray (Pope Jerrod), a water diviner sent by the drought relief programme, arrives on the farm, Rachel is confronted with long-forgotten feelings. A chance meeting with Shaanika (David Ndjavera), a torturer for the South African side during Namibia’s liberation war, brings a frightening reality to this love story.
